I'm a Grand Valley graduate with a degree in advertising and public relations. I've always been a creative type, but also have a deep intrest in research. When something sparks my intrest, you'll find me scouring all the sources I can to learn about a particular topic. Photography has always been a hobby of mine and whenever I travel, I always keep a camera close by. My favorite subject mater to photograph are scenic settings. I especially enjoy shooting at night when I can take long exposures. I enjoy getting together with my friends for a board game night or unwinding at home playing a video game. I'm a fan of film and love discovering new movies I've never heard of. During the warmer seasons I enjoy camping in the Upper Penisula with friends, going hiking, and cycling.
